Five sampling sites viz., Har ki Pauri (HKP), Vishnu Ghat (VG), Daksh Mandir (DM), Pul Jatwara (PJ) and Bhimgoda Barrage (BGB as control) were selected for collection of water samples. The reseult revealed that among the different sampling sites, the maximum values of EC (0.164 dS m), TS (545 mg L), TDS (320 mg L), TSS (225 mg L), pH (8.76), DO (10.04 mg L), BOD (4.76 mg L), COD (6.89 mg L), Cl (124.50 mg L), Hardness (232.54 mg L ), Alkalinity (158.36 mg L), NO3 2(76.88 mg L), SO4 2(228.34 mg L), SPC (6.8×10 SPC ml ), MPN (4.6×10 MPN 100 ml ), Cd (BDL), Cu (0.171 mg L), Cr (1.503 mg L), Fe (3.642 mg L), Ni (BDL) and Zn (2.456 mg L) of Ganga River water were recorded higer at Har ki Pauri (HKP) in comparison to Vishnu Ghat (VG), Daksh Mandir (DM), Pul Jatwara (PJ) and Bhimgoda Barrage (BGB) sampling sites.
